Review of Better Living Through Bad Movies (Paperback)

If you're like me (and I know I am, and you've wondered why bad movies are made, wonder no more! Bad Movies are made to teach us life lessons! That's right--they teach us the lessons that Oprah and Dr. Phil missed!

Its full of great life lessons and hilarious snark! (Check out the chapter about "RedDawn" for lovely snarkieness on the Bushes!)

Be careful where you read it, though.I laughed out loud on the bus so many times, I got dirty looks from the driver!

This is just a great, funny book.A definite must read for bad movie lovers and MST3k fans (like me)

Product Description
We've all heard that, 'you learn more from failure than you do from success.' Which means that all those hours spent watching crappy movies wasn't a waste of your precious and ever-dwindling life span; it was an education! And Better Living Through Bad Movies can show you how to extract the profound, life-affirming lessons from films like Battlefield Earth, Coyote Ugly, and Indecent Proposal.

In over 50 hilarious reviews, the authors show how you can use the worst movies ever made to improve your sex life (it involves cardboard cutouts and clog dancing), Apocalypse-proof your home (using the following materials: John Travolta, Kevin Costner, Sylvester Stallone and more Kevin Costner), and win omnipotence and a Happy Meal by solving Satan's Junior Jumble. You will also discover how to forge a love that will last a lifetime (by dating the moribund), use films like Batman and Robin and Star Wars: The Phantom Menace as grief counseling, and conquer the world using common fruit bats and dry cleaning fluid. And most important of all, you'll learn Hollywood's Ultimate Secret: Why Beaches and Armageddon are actually the exact same movie.
